Thomas Hecker, executive director of the 80-year-old landmark, said the Wonder Gardens might be closed until early November and during that time would lose the bulk of its revenue, which comes from ticket and gift shop sales.

Making monetary donations is just one way to help Everglades Wonder Gardens, Hecker said.

Volunteers who can help clear out debris are needed.

Wonder Gardens fish also are in peril because the pumps that keep them alive broke.

Hecker said the park needs aerators to save the fish. As of Sunday night, only the Wonder Gardens main building has electricity, which means the aerators would need extension cords or power from generators.

Then there are the iconic banyan trees that once covered the Wonder Gardens with their verdant canopies.

The banyans were badly damaged in the hurricane, but some might live to see another 100 years if the park can get the resources to save them, Hecker said.
